While perhaps not having the reputation of Chicago, Albany, or Louisiana, we are trying really hard to make the grade here.
The other day Mis-governor Rick Scott basically said he wasn’t going to follow the law of the land. He will not set up health insurance exchanges, accept the new Medicaid money, or any other component of the ACA.
Dude, think Ft. Sumpter. It’s been settled. No choice.
Any Polster smarter than I am on this topic know what legal step can be taken against this fool and his brethren? Something from the DOJ? Contempt of Congress? Failure to uphold his oath, which I presume has something about loyalty and the constitution.
Rep. Thad McCotter (R-MI-11) resigns:
McCotter had a very brief and disastrous flirtation with a Presidential run, and failed to make the GOP primary ballot in his district because his signature petitions had “issues”. And then it was revealed that he was planning on starting a TV show starring himself:
It’s yet another example of how the GOP is plotting to do in The Onion by outdoing its satire with reality.

You could also ask for a wage in exchange for getting off the lawn–I’m not sure it would work terribly well, but desperate times require desperate measure, so to speak.
Maybe Rep. Young would consider moving somewhere else and giving it a try.
…without the ageism.
I’ve never told anybody to “get a job” in my life. Including my time as a “senior citizen.”
If you have a point, make it. But if you have to make your point at the expense of others, it’s not much of a point.
I know some of the young Occupy folks would like to tell a few senior citizens to get a job. I mean, as opposed to a “job” like some of the family dynasty breed of executives have.
Maybe if you did that, I wouldn’t consider you to be an ignorant fucking airhead.
The diary said this exchange plays out between senior citizens and young people every day… that could imply that young people also tell seniors to get a job. Which the Occupiers do. Which is, incidentally, the part of the diary he was so incensed about.
Great job proving all those stereotypes about seniors wrong, especially the one about being grouchy and humorless, Ralphie! 🙂
Please remove the link to my blog from the “Relevant Links” section.
I don’t need “help” from a web site that perpetuates ageist stereotypes.
I don’t think they’ve updated that list at all since they first posted it (which I think was when they debuted the registration system).
I’ve already got you bookmarked.
Look, that’s twice now.
Not the attack on PCG. That was sexism.
that I don’t consider that term (the only one Ralphie used that could be possibly construed as such) sexist.
Also know more Anglos that are lazy. More white guys I don’t trust. More young people who have jobs and get all pissy about their lawns. And way too many GLBTTs that won’t stop cruising long enough to get with the agenda.
Every generation has thought that the next generation is going to hell in a hand basket. Not each and every individual, but it has been a very common refrain by large numbers of old people – forever.
And here on Pols we call people we disagree with every derogatory name ever invented. Posters have no problem ascribing heinous intent to anyone they disagree with.
And this is what has your panties in a twist?
Weird to read your posts and agree with you.
Liberals want everyone over sixty to die. Younger voters are more likely to go their way so the theory goes.
No surprise they’re not afraid to offend.
What is always important to keep in mind is the Republican world is not of this world. The Republican reality is not of this reality.
To a Republican there is an excess of jobs, high paying Romney jobs, that all one has to do is sign up for it.
The real world is there are no jobs, no benefits and no pay.
for congressional term limits.
It means this:
$10/hour times 40 full-time hours per week times 52 weeks (no vacation) = $20,800 a year.
Ya better hope you don’t have to commute to a job like that.
……if you live in your parent’s basement? And use their health insurance until you are 26?
snark
No wonder so many young people deal drugs or use drugs or just zone out with computer games.
Anyone know the highest minimum wage in the land? I think it’s $7.80 here in FL. Voted into law by even Florida’s strongly conservative base as the right thing to do…..just before the economy went Republican. Er, south. Whew!
